Why you did this to us, Why you wanted to die.
We can't understand, Cause it hurts like hell,
To think you felt so terrible, And couldn't even tell.
We won't understand, It was just so wrong,
You didn't have to leave us, As though you don't belong.
Now we feel so empty, And everywhere where we turn,
There's always something missing, For you we always yearn.
And it hurts us very much, That you didn't say goodbye,
Just left one day without us, Left us here to cry.
We don't understand, Why you felt things were that bad,
That you just gave up everything, You ever knew or had.
We're sorry we didn't know, We're sorry we weren't there,
Now we're here without you, You left its just not fair.
We can't understand, How could you die,
When we need you so much, In return you made us cry.
We won't understand,
Why you took your life away,
We will never make it without you,
It will never be okay...............................................................

why leave us

Topic: Suicide

We don't understand, We don't know why,
Why you did this to us, Why you wanted to die.
We can't understand, Cause it hurts like hell,
To think you felt so terrible, And couldn't even tell.
We won't understand, It was just so wrong,
You didn't have to leave us, As though you don't belong.
Now we feel so empty, And everywhere where we turn,
There's always something missing, For you we always yearn.
And it hurts us very much, That you didn't say goodbye,
Just left one day without us, Left us here to cry.
We don't understand, Why you felt things were that bad,
That you just gave up everything, You ever knew or had.
We're sorry we didn't know, We're sorry we weren't there,
Now we're here without you, You left its just not fair.
We can't understand, How could you die,
When we need you so much, In return you made us cry.
We won't understand,
Why you took your life away,
We will never make it without you,
It will never be okay...............................................................

Heart breaking cries of grief...

So touching to read..

I beg of you, do not blame yourself. Suicide is a scary and unthinkable act and the one's who commit suicide are sick. It is not your fault, the person was secretly hurting, you cant help that.

Despite saying that, the grief and guilt can be so overwhelming...

And I feel for you. Have hope

Secretly Brad was hurting and he felt no one could help him.... his actions where his way to get rid of his pain and he didnt think of how those "closest" to him would be hurt... or maybe he felt he had no one "closest" to him... i have considered AND TRIED suicide many times... though i know there are ppl near me who care deeply... i cant help but think of those who left and/or hurt me at some point. Being that i have been close to suicide several times i can tell you... he wasnt thinkin of those who love him, he was thinking of those who have hurt him. I dont know but maybe he had a slight case of depression..???... unless he seemed always happy... then he probably did as i have done... locked his deepest darkest pain inside until it became to much and when he died he let it all out... i know this doesnt help you now but.. you will see him again someday and you will be able to ask him WHY?? at the gates of heaven... if it makes you feel a little better... he is probably watching over you right now!! Keep your head up and TRUST ME ... IT ISNT YOUR FAULT!! ( i know how he felt... he didnt do it bc of you)
